Sex too early: Per CDC Sexually Transmitted Disease Treatment Guidelines : “persons treated for chlamydia should be instructed to abstain from sexual intercourse for 7 days after single-dose therapy or until completion of a 7-day regimen. " Chlamydia can cause the bleeding.

Infection : having gotten chlamydia should be a big red flag that you should be using condoms. The bleeding you experienced most likely is the result of injury to your cervix, that was already friable from the chlamydial infection, healing at the time of intercourse. You are the only one that will protect you. Be smart and use condoms with each act of intercourse.
